That looks like it's done in Windows Movie maker
They even spelled "parliament" wrong in that vid.
Anyway, why do you need a government?
We Belgians have been without a government for 121 days now, and things have never gone so smooth!

Meh, there's always been people demanding Belgium to be split.
Truth is though, nobody is even remotely competent enough to split up a complex country like Belgium, and most of us really don't want it to happen either.
That being said, I do hate the Walloons' attitude.
This particular quote from a Walloon listed on that BBC page made me lol:
Some 60% of Flemish people have voted for the two nationalist parties, Vlaams Belang and Christian Democrats, and they are becoming ever more expansionist - annexing Brussels is one of their prime targets. The current impasse stems from these demands, along with the refusal of the Wallonian parties to give up any more territory.
Which is utter bullshit. People (not me btw) voted for VB because they still want to treat us like shit like they've always done since Belgium's independence.
Now, get back to Gibraltar

I just used Belgium as an example of a moderately successful multi-national state in an essay.

It is successful. We have our problems, but since nobody knows how to solve them and, frankly, nobody really cares (I think the Belgians are one of the least patriotic people in the world, which I think is a good thing), everything just keeps going like it is now.
Anyway, I bet you know more about Belgium now than the average Belgian. I'd really like to read your essay

Felix, who knew that we could be in near complete agreement?
